Lean Startup is influenced by Agile’s incremental approach and benefits from frequent(business hypothesis) tests and corrections. Short iterations of gathering feedback fromcustomers helps mitigate risk by reducing the waste associated with dedicating time andresources to false hypotheses. Consequently, we introduced the Tech Startup model: an approach to teaching SoftwareEngineering and Entrepreneurship courses in coordination, where students collaborate to createreal technology startup businesses (tech startups) [9][10].

While developers of technology normally rely on attorneys foradvice about the protection of their ideas as trade secrets or as patents, developers can betterprepare for this process if they understand basic concepts of IP law. Indeed, they will know whatto do before seeking counsel, when to seek counsel, and what to do when they meet with theirattorneys.In law school, IP is usually taught as a second- or third-year course, when students already

Case Western Reserve University, for example, offers a certificate program in innovation and strategy11, and Georgia Institute of Technology offers a graduate certificate program called “Technological Innovation: Generating Economic Results” (TI:GER) 12.3. Innovation “minor” in degree programs: Some degree programs at the graduate level enable students to receive a minor in innovation. Typically, such minors require a three-course sequence that may also include industry internships. For example, the engineering school at Dartmouth offers an innovation program that provides doctoral students with entrepreneurial training to turn discoveries into marketable applied technologies.134
